Chapter 10: I’ll Show Them How to Get My Revenge Professionally
Briella’s POV
--
“Tell me the truth. What kind of mess are you making, Briella?” Xander asked me, his voice sharp and his face stern. “I’m not pleased with your antics.”
“What?” I replied, tilting my head, pretending not to understand, even though I knew exactly what he was referring to.
“Stop this bullsht at once, Briella. What are you so angry about? Because I didn’t show up at your house?” he snapped, his eyes boring into mine.
I smiled sweetly, keeping my tone calm. “Believe me, if I were mad at you, I wouldn’t be sitting here, smiling at you.”
“Then why did you cause that scandal?” he pressed, his eyebrows rising as if he already knew the answer.
Chapter 12: I’ll Wipe That Ugly Smile Off Your FaceBriella’s POV--The next morning, I prepared myself for what was supposed to be the biggest farce of the week, the public apology. Xander had sent me a full email script outlining every word I was expected to say in front of the press. Of course, I didn’t even bother opening it. I had no intention of following his orders. I wasn’t his puppet anymore.Besides, I had already spoken to the stockholders connected to my friend. They promised to back me up. I wasn’t alone in this.“Good morning,” President Braun greeted as he stepped out of the bathroom, clad in nothing but a towel hanging dangerously low on his hips.Sweet heavens!My eyes immediately drank in sight before me, his c
Chapter 11: Heart, You Need To Stop Bleeding For The Wrong ManBriella’s POV--By five in the afternoon, I received a text from Braun and immediately started preparing to leave, much to Chelsey’s surprise.“You’re leaving already?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.“Yes, I need to take care of something at my new place,” I replied, slipping on my jacket.“You’re moving? Why?” she asked, her tone laced with concern.“There are just too many memories in that house, ones I need to forget,” I said honestly. “Once I move out tonight, you can move in tomorrow. I’ve paid the rent for a full year, and it would be a waste if it just sat empty.”“Where are you staying now?” she asked again, worried.

Chapter 09: Yet You Hide Behind Your Fake Beauty!Briella’s POV--“Matty, please, let us talk with Briella for a moment. I know what I’m doing, okay?” Xander said, trying to manage the tension in his voice.“Exactly,” I added coolly, turning to Matilda. “Leave us alone. We’re discussing something important, and I don’t think you have any business interfering.”Her face twisted with annoyance. “No! If you two have something to discuss, I should be here! Why is Briella’s sidekick allowed to stay, and not me, one of the top models of this agency?”“Matilda!” Xander snapped, cutting her off. He was clearly losing patience. “Can you please let Chelsey wait outside?”“No.” I immediately shut that d
Chapter 08: I Can’t Believe Her Audacity!Briella’s POV--“Send me a message once you’re heading home. I’ll come with you to pick up your things from the apartment, alright?” President Braun said gently as his car stopped a short distance from Star Agency.I nodded, reaching for the door handle, when he suddenly grabbed my arm. I turned to him just in time to feel the warmth of his lips pressed against my forehead.“Take care, and please... don’t let anyone hurt you. I don’t want to see any bruises when you get back,” he said softly.“Okay. You take care, too. I’ll call you later once I’m done here,” I replied, trying to sound casual, like my heart wasn’t hammering in my chest and his touch didn’t just send butterflies fluttering wildly in my stomach. 
Chapter 07: Say My NameBriella’s POV--A moan escaped my lips as Braun cupped my breasts, his touch firm yet worshipful. I tugged on his hair, and I could tell he liked it from the low groan that rumbled from his throat.His lips latched onto one of my breasts while his hand caressed the other, sending waves of pleasure crashing through me. At that moment, all I could think about was him, this man giving me the kind of honeymoon I had only ever dared to dream about.His tongue teased the sensitive peak of my breast, and I arched my back in response to the jolts of pleasure that spread through my spine.I bit down on my lower lip, desperately trying to suppress the sounds building in my throat as he continued his delicious assault. Then his mouth returned to mine, and I kissed him back with everything I had. My legs wrapped around his waist instinct
